The Cleveland Cavaliers are getting a big return just in time for their play-in game against the Atlanta Hawks, with center Jarrett Allen returning to the starting lineup Friday night after being sidelined since March 6 when he suffered a fractured finger.
Allen was cleared to return to play Friday evening just before tipoff after a quick warmup session and announced as part of the starting lineup as well.
Allen fractured his middle finger on his left, non-shooting hand several weeks ago and has since been unable to play. His basketball activities subsided while he recovered from the injury, but he's been slowly ramping up his production in practice. Allen's return is a boost to a team that is looking to give it their all for one last chance at a playoff appearance with a win Friday night.
